Communication is one of our most vital, life-long skills. Speech therapy helps toddlers, children, and teens reach communication milestones for their age and clearly express their thoughts, feelings, and ideas. Therapy also helps kids understand language, develop socially, and succeed in school.
Speech therapy benefits adults as well. We support adults with a variety of speech, language, and communication issues so they can achieve their personal and professional communication goals.

Research has shown that online speech therapy is just as effective as speech therapy provided in person. There are several reasons people prefer online speech therapy:
Access: You’re not limited to finding a speech therapist in your immediate area. Instead, you have access to a network of speech therapists across your entire state, ensuring you can work with the “best of the best.” This is especially beneficial for people who live in more rural areas, or in areas with long waitlists for speech therapy.
Flexibility and convenience: It can be hard for busy families to attend in-person speech therapy. Expressable works around your schedule, with convenient times that include nights and weekends. Ditch the commute and enjoy speech therapy in the comfort of your home.
Parent/caregiver involvement: Online speech therapy makes it easy for a parent or caregiver to attend sessions. You’ll learn techniques to support your child or loved one during everyday routines, helping them make faster progress. With teletherapy, it's easy to sit and learn together!
Expressable offers affordable private pay rates and also accepts HSAs and FSAs. If you’re using health insurance, we make that process easy. Visit our Pricing page for all the details.
Yes! Expressable partners with a number of major insurance providers in California to offer in-network speech therapy, and the list is always growing.

Private pay: Expressable offers affordable private pay rates, and we accept Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) and Flexible Savings Accounts (FSAs).
Superbill: We are happy to provide you with a superbill (essentially a detailed receipt of services) that many insurance companies will allow you to submit for reimbursement.
